We have an old and senile cat with a dodgy thyroid gland who is a total pain in the bum. I know she can't help it but god she annoys me, so this song is therapy. It's a love/hate thing. Recorded as part of RPM 2010
Sounds awesome in my car too.
I tell my passengers that I wrote this song, and they all think I'm lying. It's worrying, but also pretty flattering! :-)
Must say I loved this album. Just the right amount of Irony, catchy as ebola, and sounds good and raw. Gotta run and bite, bite a BLT. Thanks for making this.

I have a cat that loves to sit on my lap every time I sit down at my PC. I can't find the right lyrics to write about her, but I'm sure I'll find the inspiration after hearing this song. Laughed when I heard it.

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.
This song's about that guy in the band who really can't play and just doesn't get any better, but pays for studio time, buys the gear, springs for beer, and owns the van. You always have to think twice about kicking the guy out with all the money!
This song's about getting reacquainted with your ol' guitar after neglecting it for a few years.
Back in 2006 our band started working on writing and recording music for our project, TheSongOfTheDay.com where we released one song for each…
Inspired by the book Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. An earworm (or brainworm as Sacks espouses) is that catchy melody that sticks in your brain that you just can't shake.
Great little hook to this. Reminds me a little of Aussie band Spiderbait, which is a very, very good thing in my world. Love this so much it's gonna be faved!
The musician's anthem! This song hits on a Beatnik Turtle theme about not wanting to work (see our first RPM album: All In A Day's Work). Instead, all you want to do is bang on the drums all day. And yet, work, life, and the inevitable day job…

Have to agree with the Sister. Great production, excellent vocals
In my head I hear a real big production behind this beautifully observed song. Very good indeed!
This is brilliant. The production/mixing is outstanding. Frankly, I'm deeply jealous!

What a fantastic, summery, upbeat pop tune. Couldn't agree more about not wanting to work!
Sounds quite joyful to me! But love the title and the composition
Very pastoral. Looking forward to some warm afternoons! Again, lovely
Sounds like rain! Love the way you come out of the refrain at about 1.40 back into the rain motif. Very nice
